Kings of Leon

In June 2008, Kings of Leon performed live at the Glastonbury Festival, a pivotal moment in their career as they showcased their album "Because of the Times," which had been released earlier that same year. The album marked a significant turning point for the band, as it gained them wider recognition and commercial success. At Glastonbury, they delivered a set that featured energetic tracks from "Because of the Times," solidifying their reputation as a dynamic live act. The performance included popular songs such as "Crawl" and "King of the Rodeo," reflecting their evolution from Southern rock roots to a more polished rock sound. Notably, Glastonbury is a landmark event that often propels artists to new heights, and for Kings of Leon, this performance contributed to their burgeoning fame in the UK and beyond, paving the way for their subsequent album, "Only by the Night," which would catapult them into mainstream success.
